Opening titles

Vaccancy


I like the way the credits have been shown in this opening as it is a bit different to what we may expect. Instead of using titles over footage it is just bold letters making the credits into a feature. I like the way it all fits together with the stalks of the letters expanding etc and how it turns, however I would not use this for the credits of my opening sequence as the credits need to be shown over footage. The idea and colour etc could be taken into account for inspiration.


Seven


I think the opening title of Se7en is wondrous. It is really inspiring, the font, the size and the placement of the credits are all perfectly put together to create quite a spooky, intriguing, mysterious tone. I like the way that some of the credits are over the footage and some of the time it is against a black screen. I also like the way the credits don't stay still, they flicker making it more interesting. This opening is quite different I think, and as we have the idea of putting the credits against some sort of crime map it may be one that we take a lot of inspiration from.


Thank you for smoking


Although this open title is not one that I would consider doing similar to for my own opening sequence I just really like the idea behind it. The film is called 'Thank you for smoking', the song is about smoking and the credits are set out as if they are the name of the cigarette packet. I think it's bit different and clever how they've done it.



Rubicon

Rubicon is, when drawing my storyboard for my first idea, how I imagined the credits to be set out, but better. I think it is so clever and exciting to watch and how each part is linked together. It really sets up the film nicely introducing the genre. As my initial idea and part of the group idea is to use some sort of crime map type thing, this is a perfect example of inspiration for it. If we could take this idea and scale it down to fit our opening sequence, somehow over footage, it would be perfect and exactly the type of thing we would be hoping to produce.
